So while filling out the coalition app for University of Washington, I encountered a part in the form that asked me for counselor recommendations. I’ve already passed my deadline for counselor recs at my highschool, so I’m wondering if this part of the form means that counselor recommendations are mandatory for University of Washington?
On their website, it says “We ask you not to send letters of recommendation or other supplemental materials such as drawings, CDs, DVDs, books, or other portfolio type items. We will learn everything we need to know about you through your essay responses and Coalition Profile, so it is not necessary for you to submit any other supporting documents.”.
I’m guessing this only applies for teacher recs then?
No, you do not need a counselor recomendation, as Coalition doesn’t even have that as an option. You just need the essays and grades/test scores.
